Meme

"...for us hacking is not only computer hacking but it's much more."
Phrack 64 - The projection of consciousness
Richard Dawkins, a British scientist, coined the word "meme" as cultural analogue to genes. Dawkins defined the meme as a unit of cultural transmission like melodies, fashions and learned skills from one mind to another. Memes are spread by the behaviors that they generate in their hosts, one might say by imitation. It can also be transmitted from one to another through a copy recorded in an inanimate source, such as a book.
For example, a certain culture stands out with a special method or design of tool-making. It`s a fact that some cultures have developed better tools than others. The meme's function directly affects the presence of the design in future generations. In times where you can share thoughts and files through the internet everyone could benefit from your developments. The term Internet-Meme has already been used as a reference to the concept of memes.
Another interesting discovery that could stand in connection to sharing information was recognized by Gary Schwartz. He claims that he has 70 cases where he believes transplant recipients have inherited the traits of their donors. There is a case where a little girl who never was in music suddenly ruled the piano after a heart transplantation. It turned out that the donor organ was from a pianist. In relation to that there is maybe some truth in adopting the power of an animal by eating certain parts of it.
In the cyberpunk anime Ghost in the Shell a mind can be copied and the body replaced with a synthetic form. So the boundary between human and machine is getting ambiguous. This topic is discussed by the english philosopher Gilbert Ryle and in the essay "The Ghost in the Machine" by Arthur Koestler.
Always practice yourself to be an open minded.

Decompression Bombs
01/05/10 23:51
A few days ago I read an article about some guys who were hired to get an internet surveillance system in the middle east to work. To test the system they tried to download a zip-bomb from a server in Europe. The check causes a crash of the internet in the whole district. It seamed that every DSL-District had their own Proxy to monitor internet communications. The server tried to unpack the file and crashed.
Here is a zip bomb they could have used.
42.zip (http://www.unforgettable.dk)
By accident I came a cross the post "Zip Files All The Way Down" which describes another way zip-bombs can be created. They are called self-reproducing zip files. It loops back onto itself.
r.zip r.tar.gz
Seams to me that this technique isn`t dead yet. Today most Anti-Virus Engines are protected against this type of attack but even now some systems get knocked down.

keytweeter - a twitter keylogger
02/07/09 13:41
Kyle McDonald coded a c++ keylogger that tweets every 140 characters you type. As an additional feature you can specify filtered words (config.xml) which are not posted to twitter. Security whitehats agree, twitting passwords wouldn`t be a good idea. :)

Yeah! That`s what I`m talking about!
Some hackers turned a building into a big urban space invaders game. Watch the clip:
Now show us how you did it, so we can demonstrate these guys at the ISS (International Space Station) some Ping-Pong with the Planet! You guys are totally awesome! I love it!

Good e-zine`s are getting rare nowadays and there is a lot of time to pass between the next Phrack release. To keep it short (as I always do)
I want to recommend you reading HackThisZine. It covers many topics related to activism and technology. The latest issue is #6 which was released on 08/19/2008, I know this isn`t brand new but this should not always be the main reason of blogging.

Sometimes I try to keep up with this fast spreading, fast forgotten meaningless news but mostly I`m to lazy to copy & past all of this shit, there are more important things in live I want to spend my time with. I feel a little bit sorry and want to apologize of being so damn slow. :) I hope I can provide you quality instead of fast food news. Now, back to the zine.

First Recorded Usage of "Hacker"
18/10/08 20:11
1963 _The Tech_ (MIT student newspaper), published in 1963, used the first known recored of the word “hacker” in connection with computers.
Impressing this is over four decades ago! Hard to believe what consequences such a publication has. What I found very interesting is the fact that “hacker” is also related to black-hats since this article. At the moment we know that the word “hacker” is extremely ambiguous. But that`s not bad. I also have my own interpretation of the word, a very positive one, which is worth to aspire.
